This is very true. I routinely run stuff like MS Word or Civ IV :-) on one of my Mini servers. What worries me most is the potential that Apple moves away from the flexibility of OS X Server. Snow Leopard Server made substantial advances in easily setting up some specific server configurations. Unfortunately, the setup I have in my home office is not any of those configurations. And it seems to me that SL Server is a bit more 'screw-up tolerant' than previous versions. But as a rule, if your DNS setup isn't -perfect-, the rest of your server installation will have problems! And like most Apple products, when it works, it really is "fire and forget." But when it doesn't work, there's not much help from the Apple tools for debugging. You're back to reading logfiles just like any other Unix/Linux installation.
